Bangladesh Foreign Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud is scheduled to leave for New Delhi on Tuesday night. This will be his first bilateral visit. He is visiting Delhi at the invitation of his Indian counterpart Dr S Jaishankar.

Dr Mahmud will have a number of meetings during his three days stay in New Delhi apart from his bilateral meeting with Dr S Jaishankar.

Earlier, Bangladesh Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Seheli Sabrin said that issues of mutual interest including trade, connectivity and energy cooperation, people-to-people contacts and regional cooperation will be discussed between the two sides at the bilateral meeting to further strengthen Bangladesh-India relations.

Indian External Affairs Minister, earlier, invited his Bangladesh counterpart Dr Hasan Mahmud to visit New Delhi at a mutually convenient time. Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Verma extended the invitation on behalf of the Indian External Affairs Minister.

Though the Foreign Minister will go to New Delhi directly, he will return to Dhaka via Kolkata on Friday night (February 9), reports private sector news agency United News of Bangladesh (UNB). In Kolkata, he will attend a “meet the press” event and a reception, to be hosted by the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission, reports UNB.
